Dark Tower just doesn't stop wowing me.
A really, really good end to the series. Wow.
Ehh. Humanity is transplanted to a huge world where lots of other species are transplanted to, too, and they're being subverted by a swarm intelligence.
Mean Girl goes Groundhog Day, finding ethics, true love and inevitable death.
Just lazy writing in many parts. Nothing is ever explained and the author revels wayy too much in the final self sacrifice. Eugh.
Nice reading! I really enjoyed this case, even though it was based in the literary world (which most authors cannot really write about well). Cormoran continues to be a really cool lead – neither a hero, nor an anti-hero, nor some kind of Mary Sue.
Good tone and settings really drew me in.
Ehh, to me, it was a really nice idea (guy can jump everywhere, woo teleportation), but so horribly Mary Sue'd that I nearly didn't finish the book. Eugh.
I didn't enjoy this book at all. Too much everyday mysticism for me.
I didn't enjoy this book at all – some characters were fun, but the story was terribly flat, easy to predict and boring. Add in the length of the book and the semi-interesting rambling on architecture (seriously, I enjoyed a book on cathedral building a few years ago, but this pseudo mix of literature and facts was just annoying). Most characters were very flat aswell (good vs evil, bah), and overall I could have spent my time much better.
I cannot call this book enjoyable, because it was horribly depressing, but it was spot on writing that really drew me in. Rowling apparently has a gift to protrait real life people (both in the Cormoran Strike books and here).
Now this was just a really enjoyable YA book on the topic of parallel worlds – a bit like a children's version of Long Earth with some magic mixed in. A not-too-heavy, enjoyable book!
Fantastic space opera, even more fun than the series. 4.5 stars for me, but I'm rounding up 'cause I'm feeling generous today and it was just so much immersive fun!
Well, that was fun, but less fun than I've had with most other Pratchett books, I think? It's about average for him, at most, which still makes this a very good book.
Yeah, Commander Vimes and little Sammy and another book (this one about Poo). Also, Goblins turn out not to be vermin. Surprise!
In the end it was horribly predictable, sometimes fun urban fantasy with angels and demons and stuff.
I can't describe what King's books do to me.
